Place 3 council member Kevin Bryant earned a second term with 60.03% of the vote (3,451 to 2,298) over former Planning & Zoning Commissioner Sandeep Sharma.

Argyle will have a new mayor and two new council members as development backlash swept the town.

Donald Moser, who has never held public office before, defeated Mayor Peggy Krueger with 62.34% of the vote, while Ronald Schmidt and Todd A. Mankin unseated council members Kay Teer and Jay Haynes with 70.77% and 61.72% respectively.

In Double Oak with two open council seats, Scott Whisenhunt garnered 45.01% of the vote and Ara Minassian had 27.15%. Steve Durbin, who passed away on March 19, received 27.84% or 3 more votes than Minassian.

“The results are unofficial until canvassed,” said Double Oak Mayor Mike Donnelly, who ran unopposed. “If Steve finished second, then council most likely will consider an appointment to fill seat for 1 year, then the remaining year goes back up next May, as I think I understand it…”
